Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized Acetyl-peptide derived from human eIF5A around the Acetylation site of Lys47. AA range:11-60
Specificity
Acetyl-eIF5A/eIF5A2 (K47) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of eIF5A/eIF5A2 protein only when acetylated at K47.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function:The precise role of eIF-5A in protein biosynthesis is not known but it functions by promoting the formation of the first peptide bond.,PTM:eIF-5A seems to be the only eukaryotic protein to have an hypusine residue which is a post-translational modification of a lysine by the addition of a butylamino group (from spermidine).,similarity:Belongs to the eIF-5A family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in ovarian and colorectal cancer cell lines (at protein level). Highly expressed in testis. Overexpressed in some cancer cells.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Nucleus, nuclear pore complex . Hypusine modification promotes the nuclear export and cytoplasmic localization and there was a dynamic shift in the localization from predominantly cytoplasmic to primarily nuclear under apoptotic inducing conditions. .
Tissue expression
Expressed in ovarian and colorectal cancer cell lines (at protein level). Highly expressed in testis. Overexpressed in some cancer cells.
